I am trying to parse the following xml and keep on running into the same error message "Unable to parse XML from string", please see the below error message.
protected function resolveXmlObject($xml): Document
{
if (! $xml) {
throw new InvalidContentException('Unable to parse XML from string.');
}
return $this->document->setContent($xml);
}
I am new to using xml and am unsure what the issue is with the code that I have provided. If someone could point me in the right direction as to what I am doing wrong that would be greatly appreciated.
Controller
use Orchestra\Parser\Xml\Facade as XmlParser;
public function upload()
{
$xml = XmlParser::load(asset('xml/data.xml'));
$user = $xml->parse([
'id' => ['uses' => 'programme::id'],
'name' => ['uses' => 'programme.name'],
]);
return view ('projects.upload', compact('user'));
}
XML
<?xml version="1.0" encoding=”UTF-8”?>
<programme data>
<title>Programme Data</title>
<programme id="1">
<programme 1>
<name>A nightmare on Elm Street</name>
<image path>../images/Elm Street.jpg</image path>
<mood>Scared</mood>
</programme 1>
</programme>

The call to asset('xml/data.xml') does not give you a file or an internal path, it gives you the public URL to the file inside the public folder. Try it with public_path('xml/data.xml').

E.g.
$xml = XmlParser::load(public_path('xml/data.xml'));
